DanielNegreanu 141 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 If someone has a straight with the J-10 you need to fill up to scoop the pot. An Ace or a King would do that, but then you'd have to worry about someone having AK, AA, or KK. If your hand is the best hand, and no one has the 10-J, or the bigger set, then you'd likely have to worry about a flush card coming off, or a 10. Look closely at the action, what four hands could you put your opponents on where it would be correct to cal? One player likely has 10-J. Another player likely has the nut flush draw. Another player likely has A-K, or possibly A-A, or K-K. You call with this hand in that spot and it's like burning money. It would be a horrible mistake to call with bottom set in the described situation. It's a clear fold. Link to post Share on other sites
cuddlemonkey 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't see how nearly 20% of the responses involved continuing with this hand. I'm absolute rubbish at O8 and even I knew it was a fold. Stupid, stupid people... Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thank you. I can still hardly believe that anyone advocated anything but folding here. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think Daniel caved to the pressureAfter all the tricky questions he asked before, I thought he was going to sneak in a curveball here.Since it was O8 there must have been at least a couple A2 hands here, buring aces.Oh well, I was wrong. It happens (more than I care to admit)I am 5-17 on these quizzes, maybe I should take up golf Link to post Share on other sites
shpaget 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Thank you. I can still hardly believe that anyone advocated anything but folding here.Not sure about anyone else, but I put two responses...one for a clear fold, and then a second one "searching" for a reason to call...basically, you'd need to be against four very specific holdings, and know that the players have them, to call this...namely, three hands with AK, and a flush draw.I simply wondered if the answer here was too obvious....but then, I guess a lot of people love a set here...in Omaha, bottom set is about as evil as it gets, and I avoid it at all costs.

You'd sound like a better player if you just said "I don't lay down sets" Link to post Share on other sites
